Today I am sharing another card made with one of the Sale-a-bration Stamp Sets, this time I have chosen Happy Wishes.
This is a super bumper set with 16 stamps that allow you to build up practically any greeting you might need ~ birthday, anniversary, best wishes, be happy, for you…. just so versatile. I also chose to use one of the Sale-a-bration ribbons and an embossing folder from the new 2018 Occasions Catalog. Continue reading
I wanted to make a very simple card, this is not my normal style – I usually like layers, embellishments and some bling, but today I needed simple.
The Thoughts and Prayers Stamp Set has a lovely floral and leafy shishy sort of branch that is so restful and also takes quite a bit of the card front . I chose to use my favorite color combination Very Vanilla and Night of Navy. Continue reading
I have a small, but precious team of Stampin’ UP! demonstrators and each Christmas I like to make a gift . This year I decided to make a ‘Flip-over’ calendar for each of them using the Tolsby picture frame from IKEA.
After I finished each of the months I realized that the design could equally be used as a card front, so each can do double duty!

Stampin’ UP! has the most amazing selection of ribbons and trims ranging from twine up to 1/2 inch wide and the selection of textures and colors that coordinate with other products makes it so easy to decorate cards and other paper crafting projects.
Over the next few weeks I am going to be sharing a few hints and tips on how to use the ribbons and trims and today I start with bows.

We have a brand new Occasions catalog but we can still get the Painted Harvest Stamp Set and that really cute Cat Punch, both of which I used to create this card. I used the one of the greetings from the stamp set but it would make a perfect birthday card for a child I think. This card also uses a couple of products from my stash that get overlooked, the Starburst Punch and the Wood Texture DSP Stack.

If you’ve placed a $25 order with me during the previous 6 months you should be receiving your complimentary copies of both the Occasions Catalog and the SAB brochure any day now. If you’re not familiar with how this annual sale works here’s a quick run down. Continue reading
Today is the first day of my dear sweet husbands’ retirement. He started work at 16 years of age, put himself thru college and has provided for his family ever since, often working long hours and travelling a lot of miles.
We plan to spend the coming years travelling a lot of miles together and seeing something of this country we now call home. Continue reading
Back in the late summer, early autumn I was looking for a technique for my monthly class and came across using fresh leaves – which is kind of a modern take on the old dried pressed leaves and flowers. It was a lot of fun to do and you can make a lot of cards in a very small amount of time…… and each one will be unique. Continue reading

Christmas is behind us for another year 😦 but I hope everyone had a good day!
There are folks who have birthday’s around the weeks before and after Christmas, my maternal Grandmother’s birthday was actually born on Christmas Day ~ she would have celebrated her 109th birthday this year. and it was her wedding anniversary as well, I think they married in 1929! I often think that they get a little short-changed, so I made a very special card for those ‘Christmas/New Year Babies’ Continue reading
